The mission of the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio (BCFOhio)

is to help breast cancer patients survive the hardships

of cancer treatments by providing emergency financial

assistance.

Each year, we distribute thousands of dollars to

nonprofit organizations throughout Ohio that provide

emergency funding to breast cancer patients undergoing

active treatment.

100% of funds raised by the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio

stay here in Ohio to benefit patients in your community.

Emergency funds are used to help provide critical services

to women and men in need:

temporary support of living expenses such as housing,

utilities, and food

transportation to and from treatments

child care during diagnostic and treatment procedures

job training for those who lose their jobs after their

diagnosis

mental health services not covered by a third party

assistance with treatment costs, prescriptions, and co-

pays not covered by a third party

costs of participation in clinical trials that are not

covered by a third party

Women and men with breast cancer can call Deb Ferenc,

Executive Director, to identify resources that will help

them through the crisis. Call 216-287-0355 or email

[email protected]

Purchase a Breast Cancer Awareness license plate at

www.OPLATES.com or at your local BMV office. The

specialty license plate costs $35 over the regular license

plate fee. Of that amount, $25 goes to the Breast

Cancer Fund of Ohio. You do not have to wait until your

birthday, so order yours today! New in 2016: the breast

cancer awareness license plate for motorcycles!

Help us promote the specialty license plate. Include

our public service announcements on your website

GrantmakingMy journey starts out with surgery to remove the lumps and the struggle with chemo, knowing that I’m going to be sick 4 days every week with nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss and the struggle to keep a house over our heads, bills paid, hospital bills caught up, and gas in the car to make it there.

The struggle has caused my family a great deal of turmoil through every day living.

Although the struggle has been hard emotionally, I have good spirits and a strong family that has helped me through this.

The help I received from the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio has helped me in a lot of ways, including making sure that I have food to eat so I can keep up my strength. It has helped me get caught up on some overdue bills, make payments to the hospital, and get gas in the car so I can get to treatments.

I want to thank you for the funding. It was a blessing to me and my family, knowing that someone out there cares about people with illness.

Thank you. Marilyna B.

Grantee Profile:Akron General Development Foundation

Making an impact, one woman and man at a timeOur client’s insurance coverage did not cover a surgical bra following the mastectomy. The insurance covered the cost of the actual prosthesis, but not the garment it needed to be placed in. This patient would actually refuse to go out with family or friends because she was so self-conscious and uncomfortable with her appearance. When this was discovered, a local supplier provided several surgical bras at a fraction of the cost of each garment. These items were paid for by funding from BCFO. Grateful doesn’t even come close to describing how this patient felt when she put the items on “correctly” and could resume her life with a sense of normalcy. - UH Seidman Cancer Center, Cleveland OH

Kelley is a wife and mother of 5 active children. When she came in to get mileage reimbursement for her upcoming doctor appointment, she confessed that her electric bill was behind two months. I told her about the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio grant and the ability to use these funds to pay her bill. She immediately started crying happy tears and stated “You have no idea how much this means to me.” $222.00 made a huge difference in this woman’s daily life. - Guernsey County Cancer Society, Inc., Cambridge OH

Our client had a lumpectomy because of breast cancer. Although she had two jobs, she had to work reduced hours for weeks while undergoing chemo and radiation treatments. With funding from the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio, The Columbus Cancer Center was able to help her and her granddaughter stay in their apartment and provide her with life-saving medications. “I wish everybody was as lucky as I am to have this support. Finally, a good thing happened to me.” – LifeCare Alliance, Columbus OH
